ODDS AND ENDS.

\ MAN never needs holiday 50 much
as the day after he has had one.
Talk is cheap The man who talks
too much gets so liberal that he gives
himself away.
WHEN man loses his temper the
temper lost is generally a bad one, not
worth the noise ade over It,
No ONE can realize how much money
there is in the world until he reads the
assets of insurance companies printed
on the backs of their folders.
AN old farmer remarked on the streets
Yesterday, when asked how his hay was
drying, that if it got dry as fast as his
as quick rs cut down.
A QUEER thing about water is that it
adulterates nothing but milk. A man
can put it in his whiskey, his wine, or
his cider, and he is all right; but if he
puts clean water in his milk he goes to
Jail.

Oh, know u certain woman who is reckoned
with the good,
But she fills me with more terror than a raging
lion would,
The little cIills run up and down my spine
whene'er we meet,
1 Though she seems a gentle creature and she's
very trim and neat,
And she has 3 thousand virtues and not one
acknowledged sin.
Bat she is the sor. of person you could iken
to pin
And she pricks YOU, and she sticks you, in a
way that can't be said
When you seek for what has hurt you, why,
You cannot find the head.
But she fills You with discomfort and exasper-
atinS in
If anybody asks You why, you really can't
explain.
A pin is such a tiny thing-of thas there is no
doubt.-
Yet, when t's sticking iii your flesh, you're
wrrtched till its ont.
She is wonderfully obse; wing when she meets
aprctty girl
out Of curl.
And she is 20 sympathetic: to her friend
who's much admired,
She is often hearl remlrking, Dear. YOU look
worn and tired -
And she is careful critic Tor GU yesterday
she eyed
The new dress l MAS AIRING with q woman's
natural pride
And she said ''Oh, how becoming" and then
softly added, Iii
j. really misfortune that the basque is such
fit"
Then she said, If you Had heard me yester
eve I'm sure my friend,
Nou would say am champion who knows
how to defend
And she left mc with the fceIing-lnost ua-
pl asant. | ave-
That the whole wo-Id would despise Inc if it
had not been for her.
Whenever I encounter her, i'll such name
less way
She giv"5 me the impression am at my worst
tina: day,
And the hat that vas imported (and that cost
me half a sonnetl
With just one glance from her round eyes be-
comes Bowery bonnet.
She is always bright and smiling, sharp and
shining for thrust
Use does not seem to blunt her point, nor does
she gather rust
Oh! wish some hapless specimen of man
kind would begin
To tidy up the world for me, BY picking ND
this pin.

The willow n Useful Tree.

There is no tree that is so sure to grow
without any care as the willow. A twig
from branch of the tree stuck into the
moist earth, and the labor is completed.
An article in IA German contemporary,
which is a great authority, recommends
the cultivation of willow trees, not only
from an economical and industrial point
of view, but also for hygienic purposes.
They are especially useful where the
drinking water is taken from fountains
or natural wells, and still more where
there are morasscs and meadows; for in
the vicinity of willow trees water is
always clear and pure, Let those who
doubt this fact place piece of willow
which has not yet begun to strike, into
bottle of water, and place this, with
another bottle containing water only, in
a warm room for eight days; in the first
bottle will be found shoots and rootlets
in clear water, while the other bottle will
contain putlcfying water. Holland Is
covered with willows, and their dam
works are made stronger by the network
formed by the roots.

They all drew near the bed where the
child lay.
The Bretonne took the cardboard dolls,
Noahs arks and baa lambs, scattered
them gently over the coverlet, kissed
the thin, naked arm of the yet slumber-
ing child, and then, turning towards the
gendarme, who quickly brushed a tear
from his eye, quietly said:
"Now we can go on our way"

After he had looked as sick as he

Why, that sounds terribly like epi-
sodes We have heard of here in Cali

Then comes the Mail and Express of
Gotham and says:
'It was not until 1875 that the Chi
nese took possession of Mott street.
y AS new arrivals from the Flow
cry Kingdom appeared on the scene
they settled down on this spot, and
Chinatown waxed and grew strong
until it became what it now is-a
veritable city within city, having its
own municipal government and in
most things making laws, suiting
itself and growing in strength, oblivi-
GUS of the political and social ameni-
ties of the agitation around it."
Hear this from the same source:
Down in Pell street are gathered
several hundred of as disreputable
heathens as ever cut throat. The
Cinnamon of Mott street have an ex-
pressive name for Pell street. They
call it 'Broken-head street and it is
worthy of the name. Here are the
headquarters of all the highbinders n
who have been at the bottom of not
few desperate crimes in New York.
There are probably 800 of these GRIM

with dissolute women, haunt the dirty

head street. gambling, drinking,
smoking opium, and carrying on wild
orgies which sometimes end in fatal
ARRAYS. During all the years OF
evangelical labor among the Mongo-
liam population of the city but about a
dozen bona .fde converts have been
made and several of them are said to
be but little better than when they
were thcrough-going heathen.
Then the Graphic says:
More opium-joints are in full blast
in the Chinese district to-day than
ever before, and thousands OF young
Americans of both sexes are yearly
going down under the blasting, with
ering influence OF this vice. The wo-
men of our city, said Inspector
Byrnes, ARE becoming addicted to the
vice to a frightful extent. | know,
personally, of several cases where the
wives and daughters of some of our
most wealthy and respectfully citizens
have gone to ruin through these
opium-joints.'

THE wine trade of this state is GER
tainly in most healthy condition.
On the first instant the steamer San
Jose sailed from San Francisco for
Panama, taking out for New York
twenty-six thousand nine hundred
gallons of wine valued at $9,430. For
Mexico she carried three hundred and
ninety-eight gallons of wine worth
$405, and forty-five gallons of brandy
worth $l25. There were shipped by
the same vessel to Central America
seven hundred and eighty-five gallons
of wine valued at 81 ,404, and to Ger
many forty-eight gallons rated at $4S
On the same date a sailing vessel
carried to Tahiti one thousand one
hundred and eighty-one gallons of
wine valued at 1854, and twenty-five
of brandy at $44. Then also on the
fifteenth of September, the steamer to
China took one thousand four hundred
and twenty-three gallons of wine
worth 81 ,230; the vessel going to Hon.
olulu took three hundred and ninety
gallons of wine estimated as worth
1918, and another took to Kahulia
eighty-two gallons valued at $sS. The
total OF these shipments is thirty
one thousand two hundred and seven
gallons of our grape products and the
sworn value is $14, ,440. 1t will be OBJ
served that these shipments embrace
a very large portion of the world in
their destinations. Moreover, it ap-
pears that the total number Of sepa-
rate shippers represented is nearly
fifty, while there were over sixty con-
signees in the lists.

FREE speech is the safety valve OF
free institutions. Speech can hardly
be too unrestrained in country like
ours, of course always supposing that
it is not grossly indecent. That blatant
ass, Most, gathers great crowd OF
many thousand and they all talk. 1t
is red hot so far as the words go, and
while it is merely words, the atmos-
phere may be lurid in the extreme.
Americans are we'll satisfied with the
good sense of our citizens, and conf
dent in the strength of our institutions
and laws. Both are all the safer for
such speech as Most and his like in
dulge in. This gives an opportunity
to learn what people have in mind,
and prevents any formation OF closely
concealed meetings under secret socie-
ties. The officers become informed as
to the intentions of these men, and are
therefore prepared to meet them. Let
them talk. The more they talk the
less they will do. 1t is the pent-up
thought which, ranking in the heart
and whispered from ear to ear,
leads to terrible acts. The
speech that is unrestrained lets out
these smouldering fires of discomfort,
and there the matter ends. Fellows
like Most feel better after one of these
wild tornadoes of talk. How very
different from that meeting at Ennis,
in Ireland, the other day, where peo-
pie assembled quietly to discuss real
grievances and were set upon and
murdered by the police! England
dare not let the English people talk,
because her rule in Ireland is oppres-
sive. We can let Most prate as he
may please of his wrongs, because
they are purely imaginary. There is,
of course, some danger that here and
there a hot-headed fool may act on
the suggestions of such speakers; but
he does it at his peril, and the mo-
ment he does it there is bit of the
rope which is to hang the Chicago
Anarchists left for the next rash fool
who despises Lis birth-right as free
man and violates the law by the injury
of his neighbor's person.
